Thh accession of colored voters to the
Demoeratio party continnes in Georgia,
notwithstanding the fact that the political
elections are over. A colored Democratic
Olnb, with thirty-two members, waa form
ed in Cnthbert last week, with Harrison
Liberty as President, and regular monthly
meetings orderod. The probability is
that half the voting negroes of Georgia
will be organized into Democratic clubs
before another general election.
An important sale of damaged cotton
will be made in Savannah on the 30th
inst. It oonsists of about 8,500 bales,
damaged on the steamship 8t. Louis,
bound from New Orleans for Liverpool,
whioh put into the port of Savannah in
distress. This sale is worthy of the atten
tion of Southern manufacturers; and we
give it this free advertising in the hope
that manufacturers of mattresses, rope,
paper, Ac., may get a supply, instead of
letting it all fall into the hands of specu
lators for one-half its valno.
Auousta is very anxious to have the
next State Fair hold on lior grounds, and
her papers are actively agitating the ques
tion. Atlanta seems perfectly willing,
bnt Maoon “has the refusal” for noxt
year, and has not yet determined what to
do about relinquishing it. Gon. A. H.
Colquitt, President of the Georgia Agri
cultural Association, informs tho editors
of tho Augusta Chronicle, in answer to a
letter of inquiry, that the Association is
under contract with the authorities of Ma
con and Atlanta to hold the Fairs alter
nately in one of those cities for a term of
ten years, commencing with 1869, and
that Maoon must give consent before the
next Fair can bo held at Augusta.
Louisiana.—The returning board made
bnt little progress counting the vote on
Saturday, and it may bo a weok or ten
days yet before the count is completed.
Tho Picayune of Sunday makes the Leg
islature more largely Conservative than
has heretofore been claimed. It says that
“a canvass of the Legislature would re
veal 71 Conservatives and 39 Radicals;
of the latter about 28 are Administration
Radioals, and 11 Independents, who were
elected against the will and power of Kel
logg. Tho latter gentlemon will certaiu-
not be tools of unr quasi Govoruor, whose
schemes will find but little voice or favor
in tho Legislature."
The Fbekdmen’h Bank.—The colored
people of Wilmington, North Carolinu,
at a meeting hold some time sinco,
unanimously adopted the following reso

Of all the “outragoa” committed on
the negroes of tho South, this Freed
men’s Bank swindlo is unquestionably
the groatest. It is a real outrage, that
affects their pecuniary interests and re
mands the most industrious and pro
gressivo among them to tho penniless
oondition in whioh they found themselves
wheu first freed. Ami yet we may confi
dently say that the perpetrators of this
outrage will never be adequately pun
ished for it. The Government at Wa^h
ington—so ready to Bond Southorn white
men to tho peuitontiary on the IlimsieRt
charge of “intimidation” towards a
negro—will not moke any effort to put iu
tbe Albany penitentiary the Radical
swindlers who have robbed the trusting
negroes of tbo South of millions of dol
lars. Snoh is Radical protection to tho
“wards of the nation.”
Made a Democrat by Surprise,
Aa incident whioh occurred iu Girard,
Ala., the other day, is thoroughly illus
trative of negro prejudico and ignorance.
At that late eleotion for Justices of that
Beat, the negroes were especially anxious
to defeat Jfesae Ryder, whom they regar-
ded aa inimical to them. But Bydor wai
elected, and it so happened that the first
ease tried before him was one in which a
negro was proseouted, and he looked for
litte mercy in a court prosided over by a
Democrat. But bo was acquitted, and as
the light dawned upon his mind that a
court presided over by a Democrat was
not a tribunal “orgini/.ed to convict"
when a negro was on trial, ho swore that
be intended to veto the Democratic tioket
aa long aa he lived.
THASKNIVINQS.
The idea of setting seide one dsy in tbe
year in which to return thanks to Al
mighty God for hisblessings is very beau
tiful, and if properly carried out, the cus
tom that has become a law, would result
Iu great good to the morals of the nation.
To be sore the majohty of the people look
npon the occasion of thanksgiving as a
time for carouse, and but a small per
cent, attends public worship; but, then,
only the same per centage goes to church
on the Lord’s Day. Bo we presume the
whole matter is properly understood at
the Great Headquarters, and the Record
ing Angel duly credits the whole Ameri
can people for its annual professions of
allegianco to a Ruler Who can have no
successor.
As this thanksgiving has become a na
tional holiday, it is fit and proper that the
President of the ltepublio should an
nounce the day, though Congress might
pass an act making the last Thursday in
November a legal holiday, and so do away
with the annual proclamations. Now, we
respeet the high office of President, and
the request of the Executive makes the
observance of the national thanksgiving
obligatory on every good eiiizen, whether
he voted for the man in power or not.
We think the Governor of every State
should ro echo the President’s proclama
tion and appoint tho same day for thanks
giving, whether his politics or individ
ual prejudices accord with those of
the administration or not. Indeed, any
other course on the part of a State Gover<
nor betokens a narrowness of mind and a
want of broad charity not at all consist
ent with the high office, nor generous
culture, supposed to be essential to a man
who stands at the head of a great State.
Governor Smith, of Georgia, is, we
think, a good man, and we have given
him credit for strength, but Governor
Sm tb, of Georgia, betrayed an nnox-
pected littleness when he exercised the
prerogative of sotting aside a special day
of Thansgiving for Georgia, and thus ne
cessitated every law-abiding citizen's
doing the unusual thing of thanking
God one Thursday for tho political
success of a party, and then thanking
Him in a general way the following
Thnraday for any favor He may have ex
tended to us outside of nis special inter,
fe once in behalf of the Democratic par.
ty. Had Georgia been in a bad fix, and
had the recont elections rosulted to her in
a mighty and nnexpeeted victory, we
might excuse the special thanksgiving
proclamation, by attributing to the Gov
ernor a momentary religious phrensy not
usually exhibited by State Governors, but
the tendoncy of whioh we think it would
be eminently wise to foster, with the hope
that the Executive aotion would make
religion popular, and so extend
its benign influence to officeholders.
But Governor Smith had no snob exouse
for his special thanksgiving, and though
we have read over, and parsed over, his
religions proclamation setting aside last
Thursday as the proper time for Georgians
to worship, wo fail to see anything in it
but an unexpected evidence of weakness?,
and a desiro to exercise his authority by
appointing a time for Georgia's prayer,
calculated to shout that Georgia has no
particular interest in uniting in prayer
with tbe rest of the Union. Though if the
Governor thinks party succoss bo the only
thing for whioh wo ought to thank God,
he could, by lookiug beyond the confinea
of Georgia, boo that Providence has not
oonfinod blessings of this kind to our State,
for Massachusetts is blossed with a Dem-
oratio Govornor as well aa ourselves, and
Massachusetts will thank God to-morrow.
To be snre Governor Gaston is not yet in
office, and Govoruor Smith is, bnt then
we in Goorgia might lean a little heavier
an our prayers in view of this gratifying
fact.
We can do no work in the way of get
ting out a paper on Thanksgiving day—we
moan the national day, not tbe Governor's
In the first placo our feelings are in favor
of the national day, though we religiously
obsorvod tho State’s, and again wo can
get no news, for all the telegraph lines
will observe tho day and no dispatches will
be sent us; so that even if we sympathized
with tho rights of Governors in the mat
ter of Thanksgiving, tho suspension of
business on tho national day would force
us to issue no paper. *
Wo ure sorry Govoruor Smith acted as
he has, and we are only reconciled by the
hope that the Domocratio officers wo
thanked God fuy last Thursday, may do
their duty in answer to onr prayors as
Christian statesmen, and that religion
may bocome as popular iu Goorgia on
weok days as it is on Sundays, though the
hope, if realized, would by no means in-
duoe thinking tuou to believe that Geor
gians aro luore religious than other poo.

He rejeoted it, pointing oat whtt wm

second deed waa made, drawn up in the
handwritiny of Ur. Uoiee.
This deed, together with the assent of
the stockholders, wm anbmitted to him
for hia approval, and wm returned with
the following endorsement:
“ With the eneloeed aeeent of etockhoU-

The deed and stockholders assent the

attachments referred to were Bagley A

tbe Bock Island Paper Mill Co., which
have been removed by payment of tbe
purchase money into oonrt by the Eagle
and Phenix Manafaetnring Company.
If tbe drawing of tbe deed, and tho
foregoing endorsement by an attorney on
behalf of the Eagle and Phenix Manufac-
taring Company does not constitute him
the attorney of the company (at least in
that psrtionlar case], I sm unable to state
in wbat relation he stood to tbe company.
As to the rest of the letter, I prefer to
quote his own language. In hia letter of
Hard, he says: “First, I have no where
my article indicated that any
improved lot (italics my own) held by
the Eagle and Phenix Manufacturing
Company, B. L. Mott or the Musoogee
Factory is at all defective. My commu
nication waa confined to the unimproved
property. These lots I say have reverted
to the city, and if the present holders
don’t think them worth improving, the
city onght to claim the reversion.”
In his communication of the 17tb, he
says: “And all who claimed under them
hold the property subject to oertain
importaint conditions attached to
the deed of conveyance by tbe
city. One is that a canal to
convey the water-power of tbe river for
tbe purpose of manufacturing should bo
built by the year 1848, so as to afford a
sufficiency of water-power to eaoh of the
lots granted extending from the Mnsoogee
Faotory, which is lot No. 1, to lot No. 37,
near tho lower bridge. This has not been
done; end by condition of tbe deed made
by the oity, the whole (my italics) proper
